Hi! I am an American living in Japan. One of my great joys is speaking with my Syrian friend in Japanese (he cannot speak English, I cannot speak his language, but we both speak Japanese). So, we are both using a second language to communicate. Many Japanese people stare at curously because we are two foreigns speaking Japanese together. Its the only we can communicate. You have a great blog. Cool.
